  1. Stephanie Kennedy on Photographer of the week 06: Avedon

    There is just something about a black and white photograph that is very striking. I wonder how this image would be received if it was in color. I was looking at his work done for Rolling Stone Bicentennial Presidential Campaign. He allowed each person to pose themselves but he still presented them how he wanted them to be. If someone didn’t know who these people were they could tell they had some significance. That is something I really enjoy in Richard Avedon’s work.

  2. Stephanie Kennedy on Photographer of the week 10: Recuenco

    Immediately looking at his photography I felt like I was in a dark fantasy world that was in some way classic. There is something about the tone of his color and the poses of many of his subjects in his artwork that tells fascinating narratives.

    Diane Arbus does an awesome job of telling an ordinary person’s story. There is something awkward and intriguing about her photos. To me, it’s not her compositions that maker her work compelling it is her subject matter of everyday people and “freaks” which made her art captivating.

    Robert and Shana Parke Harrison create examples of storytelling and imagination. When I look at this photograph I think of how the possibilities that people have in their lives. They have a photograph called “Reclamation,” I was in awe of this photograph because it made me seriously think about what if I was in control of nature? What if I could dramatically make a change in the world, what would I do?

    I love this photograph. At first I didn’t know how to receive it but as I further observed it, I see the blind sign she is wearing. To me, this photograph describes the saying “don’t judge a book by its cover.” I completely agree with Bryan and how it exemplifies human nature to label people with just the first look.
